From the foregoing description, when taken in connection with the drawings, it will be noted that I have produced a rail construction for tly screen frames that may he cheaply manut'zwtured end which provides a simple but novel and thoroughly efiieient means for ridding rooms of [lies without necessitating the obnoxious and cruel method of externiinating the insects.

Having described the invention, I claim A method for producing upper or ll1tUfmediate rails for fly screen frames comprising longitudinally cl'ianneling a wooden memberboring it from the inner wall of the channel to provide spaced cone-shaped depress-ions, and dividing said strip (:entrulb and longitudinally to provide two rails.

in testimon whereof I altix my signature.
